#Repost from @unrefugees --- From a distance, it looks like a tin-shack bar where you might grab a glass of moonshine after a long, hot day. City Club, in the South Sudan town of Leer, is actually, incongruously considering its name, James Chany’s bicycle repair shop. It is reached along a narrow path atop a mud dam holding back floodwaters, and at one point a rusty bike frame has been employed as a stepping stone to bridge a particularly swampy section.

James was not a poor man. His business did well. He ordered spare parts up by Nile barge from the distant capital, Juba, far to the south, and had a reputation for fair prices for good work. He, his wife Nyayial and their four kids lived in a decent house a mile or so away.

No longer. Like some 1.5 million people across South Sudan, James and his family were forced to flee their homes when fighting swept through Leer in February. When they crept back in June, they found their home burnt to the ground and all possessions gone. Today, they all still sleep in the workshop, amid its jumble of cannibalised bike parts stacked in the corner.

Now, James says, business is bad. Barges no longer come up the river. Spare parts can’t be bought. People have no money to pay him anyway. “I still help them if I can,” he says. “But I have to take an old part from one bike and put it on another. Then take it from that later and put it on another. Parts, now they just go round and round.” UNHCR/@andrewmcconnellphoto
